Using the Tuner
To Change the FM Reception
Mode
(Using the Remote Control)
When you are tuned into an FM stereo broadcast, the
“STEREO” indicator lights up and you can hear stereo ef-
fects.
If an FM stereo broadcast is hard to receive or noisy, you
can select Monaural mode. Reception improves, but you
lose stereo effect.
Press the FM MODE button on the Remote Control
so that the “MONO” indicator lights up on the dis-
play.
To restore the stereo effect,
press the FM MODE button
on the Remote Control so that the “MONO” indicator goes off.
Receiving FM Stations with RDS
(Using the Remote Control)
You can use the RDS (Radio Data System) by using the Re-
mote Control.
RDS allows FM stations to send additional signals with
their regular programme signals. For example, the stations
send their station names, and information about what type
of programmes they broadcast, such as sports or music, etc.
This unit can receive the following types of RDS signals:
PS (Programme Service):
shows commonly known station names.
PTY (Programme Type):
shows types of broadcast programmes.
RT (Radio Text):
shows text messages the station sends.
What information can RDS signals provide?
The display shows RDS signal information that the station sends.

Press the DISPLAY MODE button while listening
to an FM station.
Each time you press the button, the display changes to show
information in the following order:
PS (Programme Service):

displayed. “NO PS” appears if no signal is sent.

programme type is displayed. “NO PTY” appears if no sig-
nal is sent.

sent by the station is displayed. “NO RT” appears if no signal
is sent.
